How many hours before ceremony for hair and makeup

Danielle, on July 8, 2015 at 5:00 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19

My ceremony is at 3, I say I want to be out of the salon by 1. Salon is 3 minutes from my venue. I am allowed to set up what I want at the venue the night before. Not having a first look, no clue what I will do for those hours but don't want to be rushed. How many hours will you have after hair and makeup?

    My hair and make up person (who will be on location) says she will have me ready at least 1 hour prior to my ceremony....will give me plenty of time to get dressed, hopefully get some pics with the girls, with enough time left over for my dad to get it together after he sees me before we walk...LOL...THAT part will take a while Smiley smile

    Our ceremony will be at 5:00, and my hair and MUA that will be on site wanted to be there originally at 8:00 am. Uhhhh.... what? We aren't starting pictures until at least 2:30. I have gotten them to push back until 9:30, and am waiting to finalize my timeline with the photographer, so I think I am going to have to insist they come a little later, like 10:30. I don't want to sit around in the hotel room all done up waiting for a few hours.

    Our ceremony was at 2:30. Hair appointments for myself and the bridesmaids was at 9 and 10 (the salon only had 3 ladies, which worked out perfect for the 6 of us), and then afterwards we went out for ice cream. We were at the church by noon. We had plenty of time in the two and a half to do makeup, get dressed, and take a bunch of pictures. I did not feel rushed at all.

    Our ceremony started at 1....we started hair and make up (for 3 bridesmaids, MOB and myself) at 8:30am. I was the last to go and I think I was started around 10am and got dressed at 11am to take some photos.

    Our ceremony is at 2:00 and our photographer asked for us to be ready by 12:00 so he can get some getting ready photos, go to the guys, then come back to us for some pictures when we are dressed and ready before we have to leave for the church around 1:30.

    I think it depends on how many people are getting their hair done and how many stylists there are. Our ceremony isn't until 5pm but we have to be ready by 3 in order to make sure we're there on time....But I have 8 BM and my mom, plus me, so we have to start wayyyyyyyy early. Like 10am.

    My stylist said that 10:00 would be good for my 3:30 wedding. I'll just have all my stuff in the car so that we can go over to the venue if we are running late.

    Hair and makeup will be arriving at 9am, we need to be ready by 3:30 so I can get dressed and over to the venue by 4:30. We're doing a first look and taking most of our pictures before our 6:30 ceremony.

    ETA: I have 8 BM, plus my mom and myself getting ready lol

    It is just MOH, my mom, and I. I haven't set the time for hair yet. Makeup is 1-3pm. Arrive at venue 4pm. First look 4:30pm. Group pictures then ceremony at 6:30pm. So I am thinking hair will probably be 10-12. It is only 10 minutes to hair salon, makeup will be done at my house, then 20 minutes to venue.

    Leave the three hours. Grab a small snack/lunch and then take some getting ready photos. Have your photographer arrive early and you can get all your solo shots out of the way early.
